Last season ran a stock header and cat with 3" straight pipe to an 18" long 6"dia horn.

Racing in Lincoln I hit 105dB at 50' perpindicular to the car. that's about 120dB at 1m'. the car was too loud. driving 2 hours would comprimise my hearing for several days. It was like riding in the engine room of a large ship.

this season I'm running a 5"supertrapp it is very reasonable. I'll have sound data soon.
